548. hadíth

وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «اَلْأَكْلُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ اَلْمُصِيبَةِ مِنْ عَمَلِ أَهْلِ اَلْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَ اَلسُّنَّةُ اَلْبَعْثُ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالطَّعَامِ كَمَا أَمَرَ بِهِ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فِي آلِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لَمَّا جَاءَ نَعْيُهُ.

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "Eating [a meal] at the home of those afflicted with a loss is from the practices of the people of the pre-Islamic era (Jahiliya), The sunnah (tradition) is to send food to them, as The Prophet (saws) ordered when the news of Ja'far ibn Abi Talib’s (a.s) martyrdom came”.
